The MC2309130-002 is a passive copper hybrid networking cable (QSFP-to-SFP+ breakout cable) for 10GbE Ethernet. It carries a single 10Gb/s full-duplex link over 2 meters of passive copper between a QSFP port on a switch and an SFP+ port on a server NIC or storage adapter. This cable IS a QSFP-to-SFP+ adapter cable for 10GbE. It is NOT a QSFP-to-QSFP DAC, NOT an optical cable, and NOT compatible with 25GbE, 40GbE, or 100GbE interfaces. Condition: refurbished.
Engineering
The MC2309130-002 operates at 10Gb/s full-duplex over 2 meters of 30 AWG passive copper. No active components — zero cable power draw. QSFP connector on the switch/fabric side; SFP+ connector on the server/storage side. Passive design delivers sub-microsecond latency with no signal processing overhead.
Deployment
Connects QSFP-port ToR switches (Mellanox SN2010, SN2100, SN2700) to 10GbE SFP+ NICs or storage HBAs in VMware ESXi host-to-rack deployments, iSCSI SAN fabric construction, and access-layer server cabling. Common in Hyper-V virtualization clusters within 2-meter top-of-rack reach.
